Set in the heart of Ivybridge, this stone-faced 2-bedroom cottage combines period character with a long rear garden that backs onto the River Erme. The property offers two reception rooms, a long kitchen, and a large boarded loft room with rooflights — providing scope for flexible living or further conversion (subject to consents). UPVC double glazing and gas central heating are already fitted, and the home is offered with no onward chain.
The long, narrow garden is a standout feature and provides direct riverside outlook and privacy; several outbuildings and a prefabricated double garage add useful storage and parking. Buyers should note the garage is in need of repair and the loft has restricted headroom, limiting immediate use as a full-height bedroom without alteration. The property is freehold and centrally located within walking distance of shops, services and highly regarded schools.
Practical considerations: the EPC rating is E (40) and there is a medium flood risk due to the riverside position — both factors affect insurance and running costs. Crime rates in the area are reported as above average, which may concern some buyers. Overall, this is a substantial cottage for its type offering scope for improvement and clear upside for buyers seeking central location, outdoor space and character.
